Has anyone created a YouTube video to document their journey? If so what made you decide to document. I am thinking about it but I'm not really open with everyone.

I have a youtube channel, and plan on doing so. The reason I decided to do so was because I haven't been open about it and only a handful of people know. I do believe that a good support system will help me as I am single. So youtube and VST provide me with the opportunity to talk it out (free therapy yay), have accountability, develop a support system of sorts, and inform others that have or are considering doing the same.

I did decide I should make a video diary for myself but it took me awhile to decide to create a channel of my WLS journey. I've really enjoyed watching others but didn't find many from those of us who are older. I just posted my third video today. I don't get a lot of views or subscribers, but that's fine, this is more for me.

Good for you Peggy. You are in a demographic of your own which is awesome. My aunt is considering the surgery and I'm going to have her subscribe and follow you. Thank you

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
